Description

This Honey-Glazed Ham is a show-stopping centerpiece that balances sweet honey with the sharp kick of horseradish and Dijon mustard. The glaze creates a beautiful, sticky crust while keeping the meat moist and flavorful. Ideal for Christmas, Easter, or any special gathering, this recipe transforms a fully cooked ham into a gourmet dish with minimal effort. The combination of warm spices and savory Worcestershire sauce adds depth, making every bite satisfying. Serve with roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes for a complete meal that impresses guests and comforts family.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).

  3. Lightly score the top of the ham in a diamond pattern, cutting through the fat.
  4. Bake the ham for 1 hour.
  5. While the ham bakes, combine honey, prepared horseradish, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard in a small bowl; stir until smooth.
  6. After 1 hour, increase oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  7. Brush the ham generously with the glaze mixture.
  8. Bake for an additional 25 to 30 minutes, basting with remaining glaze three times during cooking.
  9. Remove from oven and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Note

Ensure the ham is fully cooked before starting; this recipe is for reheating and glazing.

For a spicier kick, add an extra tablespoon of prepared horseradish.

If using a spiral-cut ham, wrap it tightly in foil before baking to prevent drying out.

Leftover ham can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months.

Adjust baking time based on the weight of the ham; generally, allow 15-20 minutes per pound for a fully cooked ham.

Save the drippings from the roasting pan to make a quick gravy by whisking in flour and broth.
